Blackberry winter wrapup

I got so caught up in weeding this week that I
forgot to let you all know what happened with our Blackberry
Winter. Basically, there were little bits of nippage here and
there, but no one died.

In fact, I might have been better off not
covering the peach --- the bags seemed to cause about half the fruit to
drop off. The cucurbits and okra, though, clearly enjoyed their
blanket. In retrospect, I probably should have covered the grape
cuttings we had stuck in the ground a month ago --- their leaves got
nipped back and I'm not sure if they'll be able to recover. Live
and learn!
